No to Monotype.

And btw I only described Assist teams for two reasons: 1) I know they exist in reality, however rare they are 2) Antar asked how they worked. I honestly think it's a really, really stupid strategy that's only good for the lols. At least it is a full team thing though, unlike most of the stuff people have mentioned here. If you're using Assist you basically HAVE to go all out with it or it just plain doesn't work (not that it works even if you do put it together properly but that's another issue).
I'm not against Assist teams. I just never responded to your last post on the subject. I'm mulling over the definition now.

Pursuit is a different kind of trapping. Obviously Latios in vs. Tyranitar is an effective trap, but Klinklang in vs. Skuntank? There's also a strong element of prediction to using Pursuit which isn't present when using the abilities or the switch-preventing moves. Note that I'm also not listing Whirlpool, Magma Storm or other temporary-trapping moves.

Rejecting. This opens up the door to too much like Regenerator cores.
